Chapter 144: Love (6)
Hearing the princess's question, spoken as if something must be done, I grabbed my head in confusion. What was she even talking about?
After thinking about it for a moment, a hypothesis came to mind.
Could it be that?
Was this some kind of bureaucratic procedure?
"Government-style work? Don’t tell me it’s that nonsense...?"
Any time the word “government” was involved, it usually meant having to show something to a higher authority. And naturally, that entailed endless formalities and ceremonial nonsense.
As a taesu—a provincial governor—he was essentially this era’s equivalent of a high-ranking bureaucrat. That meant he probably needed something presentable to show his superiors.
But if there was one thing I hated the most, both in my previous life and in this one, it was this kind of bureaucratic work.
A show, that’s all it was.
Back in my past life, I had suffered enough when some ridiculous law passed, forcing me to build an impractical breeding facility just to meet regulatory standards.
Taking a deep breath, I asked the princess:
“Shouldn’t we be focusing on reassuring the people rather than just putting on a show? If we just wait a few days, everything will settle down on its own. Wouldn't it be better to ease their concerns first?”
